A promisingly eerie surge of doom... but falls apart in second half.

Rating: 5/10 (18 February 2007)

"Dawn of the dead" sort of meets "12 monkeys" in this intense, impressively produced cult mash of zombie horror flick and dystopian sci-fi: England is ravaged by a rabid-like virus outbreak, and survivors team up to cope in deserted London... and to fight infected people-turned-monsters.
A top first half, with a really promising, eerie surge of doom... but then it falls apart in the second. As the survivors reach the military camp front, it goes from functioning violent unpleasantness to non- functioning such, as it clumsily lashes out in all directions, tossing needful credibility in the garbage can. Oh well, it still remains a noteworthy memorable grabber in the genre...
Best scene: when Cillian Murphy finds his dead parents- extremely moving!
5 out of 10 from Ozjeppe
